Summary
Conveys specific National Forest land in Arizona to Navajo and Apache Counties for cemetery use. The bill would transfer four small parcels in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest to the counties if each county sends a written request within the set deadline. Navajo County’s two parcels are about 2.5 acres each and require a request within 180 days. Apache County’s two parcels are about 2.0 acres and 6.2 acres and require a request within 365 days. Transfers would be by quitclaim deed with no monetary payment, counties would pay all survey and environmental costs, and the Secretary of Agriculture could require the land to revert to the United States if it is not used as a cemetery.

Cemetery land for Apache and Navajo Counties
If enacted, the federal government would transfer small National Forest parcels for cemeteries to Navajo and Apache Counties in Arizona. Navajo County would need to ask in writing within 180 days; two parcels are about 2.5 acres each. Apache County would need to ask within 365 days; one parcel is about 2.00 acres and an expansion is about 6.17 acres. The land would be conveyed by quitclaim with no purchase price and subject to existing rights; exact boundaries would come from a survey based on maps dated February 18, 2026. Each county would pay all costs, including surveys and any environmental reviews; the deeds would not include a federal hazardous-waste cleanup guarantee. The land would have to be used as a cemetery, or the United States would have the right to take it back at the Secretary’s discretion.
